Topic: ISSUES AFTER FIRST INSTALL SCREEN (Read 1465 times)

I am new to this and am very keen to get this up and running. I have downloaded the DVD_amd_64 version on 2 seperate occassion and machines at different locations in case it was location specific. Basically the proble i have is as follows, I boot off the CD and i can see the kbuntu screen and i can choose either install to HDD, memory or boot to first HDD. Cool - this works fine, after this if i choose install to HDD (option 1) the screen goes black and nothing. I have tried this using analog, DVI or svideo and the same result happens. I thought it was the burner or location specific and subsequently tried to download and setup from another location - same issue.

DVD install wipes all data on the disk. It takes a while for the DVD installation to occur. Not as long as CD, but, you get a lot more prompts, or visual queues, during CD install. You'll have to wait 40 or so minutes during the DVD install, depending upon your hardware, before you see something.

Pigdog, So this is normal that after you hit enter to install to HDD with DVD, it will go blank and you will see nothing for 30 - 40minutes. I will leave it run and see what happens and will updte when i have done this.

Your a chapmion - left the unit alone for 60 minutes and all was good. Thanks for your help. I have the same issue as everyone else and from your previous comments refering to other parts of the forum i can get it fixed from the info people have suggested.
